I love the ride height and the swap. What suspension are you running and does it ride smooth?

I was gonna do a photoshoot 2day and get those TL-S exhaust pics up but now that isn't lookin too good.

Last night i found out that a have a major oil leak somewhere, there was oil all over the floor in the my garage and i literally had 1 drop left in the motor. So right now she's at honda and im waiting to see what they say cuz i checked last night and couldn't see shit.

This week has been shit for the CL...it started acouple days ago when i was up at school and just cruising it when my downpipe actually dropped from my header, every bolt was missing and it was just dragging on the floor. I ghetto rigged it with a coat hanger which held fine till i was able to get back home and take it back to the exhaust place to get them to fix their fuck up. So that problem is fixed but now i got an oil leak & to make it even better i was suppose to be heading back up to school 2nite...

We'll see how it goes... :shakehead

well honda never ceases to amaze me..

so i get a call back yesterday morning and the service advisor says that they can't find the exact location of the leak. He said i should start with replacing the vtec solenoid gasket & the valve cover gasket w/ grommets which would be around $450. To make it even sweeter he said that the tech doesn't even want to work on the car because "their is a new motor in it and it wasn't installed properly & the harness is everywhere".

I knew they were gonna BS me but these guys were talking straight shit because the motor is installed correctly & the harness was installed by the head tech at Acura when i worked there. So after that BS of a speech that he told me i just shut his plan down and told him that i could fix it myself for like 30 bucks & i went and picked up the car.

So i order the solenoid gasket from another Honda which surprisingly was cheaper then what they quoted me and i picked it up this morning along with oil/filter to do an oil change. I just finish doing everything and to top off this weeks bs now the car wont start ...Im looking at my starter which im goin to get tested now but if it aint that, then im lost.

the curse continues...

Damn bro, sad to hear that you're experiencing so many negative things. Sooner or later it'll all fade out when the car is right again.
